I'm tempted to say that the sizes of your hammers are more important than the type. For years I made use of a tiny ball peen (8 oz? Maybe smaller?) and a 20 oz claw. The tiny ball peen was great for control and delicate work -- I never used it for its intended purpose, but the small head and...

At lunch time today I walked in and got a price adjustment -- easy. Eight bucks is eight bucks. And then I walked around the store and spent $130 more. Oh well, HD wins.

Interestingly, today I received two postcards, both for $25 off $125. No 30% postcard... Yet. I hope!

"Check back tomorrow for the start of our big season of savings!"

A very tiny little bit of effort would tell you the answer.

I have the 7/10/12 set, and I typically use the 12 or 7. In fact, I don't know that the 10 has ever seen any use.

They make a lot of these, actually, in all different sizes and shapes. Look at many of the DeWalt sets of drill bits, driver bits, etc (such as the "impact ready" set that CSRPenFab bought). Some other boxes: Disappointingly, they don't really sell any of them stand-alone except for the...

I bought a Werner 16' podium ladder from HD that was shipped to my home. It came direct from Werner and was handled by a freight company. It arrived in great condition, and I did take a close look at it before signing to accept delivery. I'm betting that is a typical experience because it's too...

At this point, I'm guessing it's worth waiting for Black Friday/Cyber Monday for a better savings?

Can you help me understand the size of these better? How do the 52 and 64 (ounce?) compare to, say, model 3 and 4? Are they roughly that size but heavier because of the thicker walls and head? Similarly, what are the head dimensions on them?

There's an email signup option at the bottom of the page, but I've never received anything from that... oh well. Just check the page each day.

Between the blue and green hammers I think I have all that I need. I wouldn't likely get a custom labeled hammer unless it aligned with a color -- perhaps a pink or white (or other new color) Buddy Blaster, as has been suggested, with a Garage Journal label.

My green's arrived today! Here they are alongside my blue's from the special order a few months back.

For just starting out, I think I might bypass a ready-made kit in favor of building my own filled with starter items I really need. If she's thinking about a trip to IKEA (or anywhere else where she may get something to put together that uses hex keys) do her a big favor and buy her some hex...

LB-1911, note the bold "s" in the word "colors" in the above quote. Trusty has a pot for red, a pot for green, and added a third pot. From their post: I read that to mean that a third pot is sort of rotating with colors. Not just blue for Carlyle/Napa and the special run last month, but a...

And when will we be able to buy this variety of colors? :D

I would expect them to fail in cold conditions. Trusty's warranty says: Warning: striking a cold hammer (below 38 degrees) may/will cause a cracking failure. Certainly, if you can get them replaced easily that may make it worthwhile, but using them in an environment specifically recommended...

Well, the price difference is more like $5-50, depending upon the hammers you look at, when compared to the regular Trusty price. Trusty regularly has 20%-off, too, which makes the gap even larger. So, you've got to really want blue!

I was going to just buy a #7, but instead got a landscaper's pack. The big sledge will come in handy for a project I'm getting started on. In green, of course! I had looked at the red Estwing several times, but felt rather "meh" about it because of the color. When the blue deal came a long, I...

Hmm. Looking at a #7. 25%-off a red, or 20%-off a green. Is green worth paying an extra $3.75? :)
